Jane Collingwood , LCSW

Jane Collingwood is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Wisconsin with 10 years of clinical experience. She has provided care in a range of settings including in-home services, residential treatment programs, and outpatient clinics, bringing a breadth of perspective to work with individuals and families.

Her practice focuses on grief and loss, end-of-life concerns, relationship and family issues, forgiveness work, aging and geriatric challenges, depression, anxiety, and addictions. She also addresses intimacy-related concerns, parenting and fatherhood issues, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and a variety of family dynamics such as blended families, communication problems, codependency, and caregiver stress.

Clinically she draws on multiple therapeutic tools to tailor care to each person's needs, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), solution-focused techniques, whole health approaches, and motivational interviewing. This flexible use of methods helps her support both symptom relief and meaningful life changes.

Her approach is warm, nonjudgmental, and curious. She takes time to understand each individual and to build a sincere therapeutic relationship, believing that people have the capacity to navigate life stressors when therapy is personalized to their style and goals. She has worked with people across the lifespan and views every life stage as an opportunity for growth.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Jane Collingwood integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to support clients in online sessions. ACT helps people clarify their values and build psychological flexibility, making it useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns and emotional bonds to address intimacy issues, family dynamics, and grief. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be effective for depression, anxiety, and coping with everyday challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Jane works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques as the therapeutic relationship develops and priorities shift.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or work, and choose the format that best supports progress with a licensed professional or therapist.
